Such "explanations" can be used to dismiss any other explanation, but until they are testable and falsifiable, such explanations will never be more than a working hypothesis.
Evolutionary biology *is* both testable and falsifiable, and actually has explanatory power, something the god did it hypothesis completely lacks.
This response, as far as science goes, is a non- answer as far as I can see.
So the challenge to Rev is to explain why the goddidit hypothesis is the superior explanation. Simply asserting that it could be doesn't hold water.
